I guess I'm a little late with my entry, but here it is anyway.

The ProVari Pontificators Platform or PPP for short.

English definition of “pontificate” - to speak or write and give your opinion about something as if you knew everything about it and as if only your opinion was correct:

Thanks for clarifying your definition of pontificate. Your definition doesn't quite fit mine...


pontificate verb - to express one's opinions in a way that appears pompous and dogmatic.


You know, kind of like coming into a group of people with a clumsily-worded, childlike insult. The best part is how the post assumes that everyone's vocabulary is so limited, that we needed help defining the word.

Is this post representative of what you believe passes for a clever remark?

I deleted what i'd previously written because it seemed silly in hindsight because the decision had already made for a new name for the Provari forum. Don't know about anyone else but i don't go through and read every post on a thread, it takes too long !. I just read the op and respond to that. I had spent quite some time making a list of potential names and i felt like a right wally when i discovered one had already been chosen. So i had to delete what i'd written.:facepalm: <. And now they've gone, i don't look so silly !.

In the future, you could just write "redacted." We'll all assume you were posting innuendo and suggestive comments to Tina, but that's life. :D

We have a signature thread if you'd like to go pick out your own...Provarinati "flag."

The Praetor has spoken.
He is the power of the ProVarinati! For it was he who gave us our name and crowned me Princess.

It's already been done Lady Glass. We have applied to be the ProVari Nation. I appreciate your concern about the connotations, but I think we can bring forth, upon this forum, a new nation, conceived in friendship, and dedicated to the proposition that "not all mods are created equal."

The plan is that, similar to the "Big Thread" in the HHV Army group, we will have a ProVarinati Saloon thread to continue our antics. And we will, of course, keep making banners. PoM has been making some very nice ones!

One thing you can count on in life is that nothing stays the same, but I think we can take the fun and good experiences we have had in the ProVari sub-forum and make something even better.

I'm not the sort of person who spends time wondering why people are drawn together and like each other, they just do. I accept my friends as precious gifts. I spend time wondering why there are so many sad and angry people in the world and how that might be changed.

We are the ProVarinati of the ProVari Nation (or the ProVarinot for those who think it's silly ;)) whatever - we will not be buried away in the social groups where no one can find us. We will figure out a way to be visible and easily found by those who have questions and/or want to join us.

Thank you. I know that took some time. We appreciate it. Looking forward to the change.

The new one is in my signature. The old one was the eye in a pyramid, but it got very blurry when reduced, hence the change.

ETA: There is also the ambigram of ProVarinati that has become popular with people to use in their signatures.

So will we still be able to use the ProVarinati ones we have now? Or will we need to change those? Not that I have the skills to change it, but I know who to PM. ;)
